What Do you think that C4 should have?

[macacom]

[first three pages of the thread definitely lost]

[Morbid Angel]

And ... Does anybody have news from "DeathRace" the UT2004 mod ?
The site seems to be almost down.

It looks grrrreat on the screenshots ...

[random_monkey]

Yes, Errol is a lazy cunt.

(Though I guess that isn't news.)

[Morbid Angel]

On the screenshots, it looks like it's very advanced ...
It seems to be close to the end !
A beta version has never been released ?
Could we contact Errol to ask him a beta version ?
It's so sad that such a great work directly go to the trashcan

[random_monkey]

It's not gone to the trashcan, it's just on hold.

Errol does this thing where he starts a project, carries on with it for a while, then starts a new one, carries that on for a while, and so on
Eventually he'll get back round to it, I imagine.

yeah UT 2007 looks great, i'll have to sell my right leg to buy a pc to play that game

To get the ball rolling again......

This may have been added before, but no harm in saying it again, what I'd like to see in C4 is better AI opponents, not a bunch of idiots driving around doing nothing, they need to attacking one another as well as you. i'm sort of on the fence on weather it would be a good idea for the opponents to have power-ups aswell, it would make the game more 'fair', but it also could be a pain in the ass.

Also, to steal an idea from the first GTA game, every now and again, it would be good to have a 'gouranga' type of thing. What I had in mind other than Hare Krishna's, would be a funeral session, have the hearse, limo and the other morners, the more you kill and/or destroy in one go, the bigger bonus (+ it would look hilarious on the replay ) A street protest would also suffice for mass carnage!

It would also be nice to be able to de-rail a train, and send it on a collision course with a building or traffic or something!

Better looking normal street cars, and the occasional realistic police chase wouldn't be so bad either, and it would add to the realism of the overall game.

You know what could have been cool in Carma 4 ?
The total choice !
It could have been cool to have a "mission creator". i mean, a mission builder where you can choose whioch cars are in the game, which peds, which you can run over, which you must avoid or protect (for example a mission with zombies and girlies, run over zombies before they eat all the girlies).
Which weapons could peds have (peds could try to bury drivers) ...
And why not, could we have the choice to BE a ped !
Choose some weapons and kill other peds or destroy every opponents cars ...

Do you remember in TDR2000 multiplayer, there was the ability to

• pick your car
• or have random cars
• or have the server define the car everyone uses

I think a good expansion on that idea would be to have server defined criteria that all cars would have to meet whether they were chosen by players or random.
Like ONLY race cars or ONLY vehicles in a certain weight range, or ONLY off road vehicles, etc.
Or even have exclusions like NO custom made vechicles or just exclude a specific list of vechicles.


To expand on your idea of pedestrians:
There should be things that can only be done AS a pedestrian.
Like going inside certain buildings; pushing buttons to activate machinery.
This would make for some really interesting missions in the single player.
Even imagine this multiplayer scenario:

You donot have the fastest or the toughest car but you have a small car that allows you to go places others can't. You take a shortcut thru some narrow alleys to be the first to arrive at "the old military base". As you pass thru the gates you jump out of the car and hit the switch on the wall that shuts them. And just at they close you see one of your opponents that had the same idea. He had to take the long way around and thus didn't make it as quick as you. However instead of trying to get in the base another way (which would require him to leave his vehicle stranded and vulnerable) he takes off to catch up to the rest of the pack. Your car is safely inside the gates without so much as a scratch in the shiny paint as you climb the stairs to the guard tower on foot. You find what you are looking for on the 2nd floor, a hand-held rocket launcher. You grab it and head up to the roof from where you have the best view and a clearer shot. Just as you arrive you see your old nemisis rounding a corner and skidding thru the checkpoint to complete his first lap. He knows you are there even tho he can't see you as well as you can see him. He takes a detour to avoid the threat you pose but you can still see exacly where he is going and a well aimed shot renders him to nothing more than super-heated scrap metal and smoke.

Dude, i think your multiplayer idea is awesome! it would be really nice and different if we could do something like that. Do you think we can concact the producers of th egame and send these ideas to them? i think if they see that there are still people interested in Carmageddon, they might think it's good to produce a new game, what do y think?

I've tried that many years ago, didn't work unfortnatly. I e-mailed SCi with details of this forum and the reply I got was a 'we'll look into it'.

[keroltarr]

It's worth a try.
I don't even remember their URL anymore.
Is SCI still in ownership of the Carma franchise?
We might get better results if we sent some ideas to another game company.

[The_Bollocks]

SCi is now owned by Eidos (or is it vice-versa?), so they would have the rights to the game.

We could try Stainless, and get them to make a Carma-like game without using the 'Carmageddon' name, although I could see legal action being taken by SCi/Eidos over that.

[Tony]

Kind of like that "Novadrome" from earlier mention Stainless. Though, without a lot of interesting stuff.

"Novadrome
Novadrome is due to be released on the Microsoft Xbox 360 Live Arcade System during fall 2006.
Check back here for the official date as soon as it's confirmed!"

Well, was it even released through there?

[The_Bollocks]

Novadrome, never even heard of it. Anyway, I have no interest for games that are released only for consoles.

[Fraud Broko]

It must have much bigger maps. Those in C2 are good but you can reach their end in a few seconds. I think it would be good if they make the map size like those in GTA San Andreas. And if the buildings are higher will be good too. Oh, I almost forgot - make possible the night driving. In C2 all races are in day time.

[macacom]

I think I agree w/ you on that. but Carmageddon is dead. they won't make a new one.
= (

[valium]

is it possible to modify flatout a bit then? powerups wont be possible i guess, but the bangers and the physics are there.

[BA_no7]

better AI opponents, not a bunch of idiots driving around doing nothing, they need to attacking one another as well as you.

I can agree with you on that

Realistic car damage model, weight and handling.
(Also scratches this time, not only dents and stuff).
Like when you scrape against a wall, that some paint is gone, you can see bare metal

And in C4 must be some cars of the previous game's! Like Don dumpster, and Carrerasaur, The brothers grimm, and so on.

Just like some people say: Night time driving.
C2 had too much happy colours in the levels, C4 must not have that.

And not too many missions!

And I got many many many more wishes about C4, but they must keep it original!

[Tarquin]

I think Carmageddon 4 should have some sort of announcment that its still being worked on
You never know, it could be like Duke Nukem Forever - its still there in the shadows being worked on despite what you hear from random websites.

[macacom]

I wish you were right,
For some how I still believe on a new Carmageddon

[Sordos]

I hope so Many Years are gone...
a must-have in a new Carmageddon, go outside the Car...walk shoot etc...go in other Cars, well like in GTA
